yes, you're very right, i've also been doing that for a while now too...letting the pots get completely dry before harvest...i don't have alot of experience with chemicals, but i can totally see how less is better...i've burnt my ladies before very easily, so i'm just really cautious with that shit these days...for flowering this grow it's gonna be a tad of big bloom, which is all organic and molasses...

Nice tip there raiderman, rep for you. I wish I still had the first three issues of high times. What a groundbreaking magazine. Anyway back to the molasses issue. I can't find the info I was looking for but basically it is saying that part of the process the plant goes through is to make sugar for food for itself. Molasses helps that process and additionally it will put on up to twenty percent more dry weight on your buds.

Molasses, honey and other sugars are said to increase soil microbials, enhance regrowth and make the plants use of nitrogen more effective. Molasses will raise the energy level of the plant ( a mild sugar high?) and acts as a natural mild fungicide. Molasses is the 'secret' ingredient in many organic fertilizers.

From Jorge Cervantes marijuana horticulture the indoor outdoor medical grower's bible.

If you buy one book on our hobby, this is the one.

Sorry about the delay in responding.

I am just too tired to look up the info about distilled water. I soak my seeds in distilled water for twenty four hours before planting them. I have not waited to germinate them, soak and plant. This is my second grow and I have a sixty five percent female to male rate with both grows. I started ten seeds, got seven plants, soaked and threw in another three and ended up with nine plants. I finish the gallon up watering the plants and then that's it for distilled water. After that it's plain tap water which I let sit for two or three days with the top off to dissipate the chrlorine in the water, then I add my nutes and supplements and then ph the water and adjust to around 6.5 I've read low levels of chlorine actually benefit the plants. Anyway I drift as usual. Distilled water, I've read, lacks the trace elements and minerals of tap water so over an extended grow you end up depriving you plants of those necessary elements. Have I mentioned how tired I am, yet our hobby keeps my mind going full speed ahead.

Well I got some seeds going...unfortunately I think I also have them going on buds I didn't 'paint'. Oh well life will go on. I don't think I got any on my main buds but we'll see. Making seeds is a crapshoot anyway. From let's say ten seeds you could get ten plants that look nothing alike yet they all came from the same plant. It takes many generations to get the traits you are looking for in a seed and many, many plants to get them. I just can't see myself spending years trying. I'll get what I get and I'll grow what I get and see what happens.
